PRECIOUS METAL WIRE

Comments

Half hard wire is stiffer than dead soft. Either will work for wire wrapping, but I prefer half hard for most applications. Dead soft is nice to push into hollows or such in a piece.

sterling wire, half hard
sterling wire, dead soft

19 gage 20 gage

$0.20 inch
$0.20 inch

 

 

14/20 gold filled means that 14 parts out of 20 parts of the material is gold. Cheap, thin gold fill can be as light as 1/20. Even 14/20 should be handled gently, but the likelihood of bare spots is greatly reduced.
I can get you solid gold, call for prices. Other gages than the ones listed here are also available.
Most wire gages, sterling, gold fill and solid gold come in various hardness. Call for availability.

"Beadalon" is plastic coated twisted wire. It is strong, flexible, UV proof and will not stretch. It comes in many sizes and number of strands. Call for choices.

"Tigertail" is a plastic coated metal cable similar to "Beadalon", but more prone to kinking. So don't stuff your necklace in a pocket, but you can tie knots, I like slip knots for dangles, where as "Beadalon" needs crimp beads.
